Hi Guys,

 

my Hp 6720s motherboard died on me (with a perfect OSX 10.6.6install, fully functioning)

 

I now have a acer aspire 5742 i5

 

I have been able to install a retail 10.6.3 ,

 

[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to load usb DVD install

Installs perfect with no errors

i restart with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and boot into my new Snow leopard HD

go through all the setup and get to the osx desktop

I then use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 3.7.1 to install chameleon etc

 

but i cannot boot back into the HD once the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] has finished and i have restarted

 

on the fresh install , prior to [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] post install

 

i do not have

 

Full Graphics (stuck at 1024x786)

Audio

Trackpad

webcam

wireless

 

here is a in depth detailed system overview of my hardware....also a zipped folder with larger resolution pics

I want to avoid using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] , and install all my kexts and bootlaoder manually so i can ensure

the right kexts are being used and that the bootloader will work

 

or if anyone knows of a premade dsdt for this specific spec laptop that would also be of help.

 

thanks in advance and any pointers or help will be much apreciated
